I dont really have anything important to say I just feel that I should mark the occasion.
Today was a long day. My only regret is that I can't ease the pain of the ones I love the most. Unfortunately there's a lot they have to do for themselves, which is depressing for me but at the same time I know that that's life. I hope that they do not feel that I'm insensitive because I'm realistic. Suffering is a natural part of life, but prolonging it doesn't make it any easier. If I can make someone laugh instead of cry, I will and I will not feel guilty about it. Life is better when you spread joy, not sorrow and peace, not chaos. If someone has given you such a precious gift, don't be selfish with it.. share it. If you were blessed enough to know someone, don't cry and wish you'd known them longer, spread the wealth. Make sure that you are someone who people feel blessed to know, not someone who people have to tiptoe and whisper around. Honor the past in this way but do not live in it; for that can only bring regret or longing. Do not live in the future, for that can only bring fear and can never be certain. It is best to live in the present, right here and now, and let what will be will be. Accept the fact that most things can not be controlled and so you shouldn't even try. Let these wash over you like drops of water in a shower, and with each situation learn to let old flaws and insecurities wash away. When all else fails, just let go.
